There's an endemic of BBC fandom-ism on the internet at the moment. From what I can see it's almost entirely fueled by Doctor Who and Sherlock. I guess it's part of the whole "nerd chic" thing. It's kind of annoying, because the BBC produces lots of stuff I don't like (soaps, generic reality shows) that is no different to any other channel here. Although I can echo dinz: it makes some bloody amazing documentaries which I make a point of watching. So it's not all bad, I suppose. It's our best TV, and I do love it.
I don't think Doctor Who is considered exactly normal here in the UK; it's a cult sci-fi show; but it is certainly more popular. I know plenty of people who think it's very nerdy (including people who watch it).
Actually most science fiction is considered nerdy too. I love science fiction though. That and horror films it kind of goes together. I never liked Dr.Who mainly because it just seemed to like start and they don't explain anything. So I watched it and had no idea what was going on.
Is it normal everything US considers nerdy is on the BBC?
